1. A computer method analyzing a 3D building model and generating shipping bundles within modeling software, comprising:
analyzing, by one or more processors, a 3D building model wherein a set of sections are isolated from the 3D building model;
identifying, by one or more processors, each of the sets of sections of the 3D building model and a set of data associated with each of the sets of sections, wherein each of sections of the set of sections are comprised of a set of members;
analyzing, by one or more processors, an assembly process for each of the set of sections, wherein a second set of data is created related to each of the section's assembly processes and a final assembly of the section;
generating, by one or more processors, an order for the assembly processes of the set of sections and the 3D building model;
calculating, by one or more processors, properties of each member of the set of members for each section, wherein the properties include a profile of each of the members, and each member type is visually distinct from the other member types;
determining, by one or more processors, at least one arrangement of the set of members of each of the set of sections, wherein the set of members are rearranged to form a bundle, and wherein the members are arranged in a manner based on the profile of the members and limitations of a shipping container;
manipulating, by one or more processors, the bundle based on other bundles which are to be placed within the shipping container;
generating, by one or more processors, a graphical representation of the bundles wherein each of the member types are visually distinct within the bundle; and
determining, by one or more processors, a manufacturing order, wherein the manufacturing order is used with a forming machine to produce the set of members to form the bundle.
